INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

1. When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (Toyota Fortuner RM000000XHR02TX.html).
   
2. Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
   

1. Check for DTCs (Toyota Fortuner RM000000XHV09NX.html).

   Result	Proceed to
   DTC not output	A
   DTC output	B

1. Check if the skid control ECU connector is securely connected.
   

   OK:

   The connector is securely connected.
   

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   

2. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
   

3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard Voltage:

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   S25-34 (IG1) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	11 to 14 V

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   

2. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
   

3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard Resistance:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   S25-1 (GND1) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

1. Check the brake booster assembly (Toyota Fortuner RM0000010KJ00BX.html).

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   

2. Disconnect the vacuum warning switch connector.
   

3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard Resistance:

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - 2	Engine idling	10 kΩ or higher
   1 - 2	Ignition switch off and brake pedal depressed a number of times to release vacuum	Below 1 Ω

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   

2. Remove the reservoir filler cap and strainer.
   

3. Disconnect the brake fluid level warning switch connector.
   

4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   HINT:

   A float is located inside the reservoir. Its position can be changed by increasing or decreasing the level of brake fluid.

   Standard Resistance:

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - 2	Brake fluid level warning switch OFF (Float up)	1.9 to 2.1 kΩ
   1 - 2	Brake fluid level warning switch ON (Float down)	Below 1 Ω

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   

2. Disconnect the parking brake switch connector.
   

3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard Resistance:

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - Body ground	Parking brake switch ON (Switch pin free)	Below 1 Ω
   1 - Body ground	Parking brake switch OFF (Switch pin pushed in)	10 kΩ or higher

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   

2. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
   

3. Disconnect the combination meter connector.
   

4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
